Obama Sends Out Creepy Email: 'Sometime Soon, Can We Meet For Dinner?'

President Barack Obama's reelection campaign just sent out this
creepy email, with the subject line "Sometime soon, can we meet for dinner," asking supporters
to donate to his campaign for a chance to have dinner with
Obama.

"Maybe I'll get to thank you in person," it
says.

Obama's team has run a similar fundraising
gimmick before — and the email says he plans on continuing it
throughout the campaign.

We just hope future emails aren't so
unsettling.

Here's the email:

Friend --

Supporters like you are the reason I'm here, and the values we
share have always made our organization more than just a
political campaign.

So whenever I can, I want to take the opportunity to meet you.
Last month, that meant I got to talk to folks in Iowa about
small-business opportunities, and sit down with a group of
volunteers from around the country who helped build this campaign
in their communities this summer.

Today, I want to ask if you'll join me and three other supporters
for a meal and conversation sometime soon.

Please donate $5 or more to be automatically entered for
a chance to join me for dinner.

If this sounds a bit familiar to you, it's because we've done
this before. In fact, my hope is that I'll be able to keep doing
these dinners throughout the campaign.

They're a chance for me to talk one on one with people like you
who are taking ownership of this campaign and connect with the
work going on every day in neighborhoods across the
country.

These dinners also set our campaign apart. No matter what our
opponents do over the next 14 months, dinners like these are how
we will continue to put people at the heart of this campaign --
and prove that we don't need checks from Washington lobbyists or
special-interest PAC money to win an election. We can do it
person to person, in our neighborhoods and backyards, and over
the dinner table.

That's why I'm asking for your donation today. I hope you'll take
a minute to help build this campaign. When you do, you'll have a
chance to join me for dinner:
